Description

See https://saxonica.plan.io/issues/3163

To resolve the problems in the bug, a work around was produced (using some custom JavaScript) so that a base64 encoded SEF could be supplied to SaxonJS.transform via the stylesheetNode option. We should look at taking this further, e.g. provide more accessible options implemented in Saxon-JS to do this kind of thing.

We considered adding a "stylesheetText" option to the SaxonJS.transform API, so that the SEF can be supplied as a string (after any required decoding). But since we are already working on Saxon-JS 2.0 for which the SEF is in JSON format rather than XML, we have decided not to make changes for 1.x, as hopefully a better solution will be possible using Saxon-JS 2.0.

Also, it remains unclear exactly what base64 decoding methods we could usefully expose. The work around produced for issue #3163 was rather a special case.

Marking this as "won't fix".
